I disagree.  There are plenty of problems to fix in the kernel,
2.2 and 2.1 and another delay of 2 weeks would be bad.  The -current
kernel works OK with old vfs-handling utilities provided you compile
with option "COMPAT_LITE2" and initialize ovfs.vfc_vfsops to non-NULL
in sysctl_ovfs_conf().  It took me a week to discover this because I
thought that some utilities needed to be fixed first (mainly mount_nfs).
